Disney tours add new lines with more free time
Adventures by Disney, named the “World’s Leading Luxury Tour Operator” by the 2009 World Travel Awards, has added a new line of itineraries to its list of family vacations for summer 2010.
“Known as the Gateway Collection, these itineraries provide guests with more time on their own to explore the destinations and sites at their leisure,” the company says.
In conjunction with the added time, travelers receive the benefits of Adventures by Disney’s Adventure Guides who are the concierges for each trip and are available to provide recommendations and schedule reservations.
Departing in summer 2010, these itineraries feature, "Gateway to London and Paris," "Gateway to Italy" and "Gateway to Costa Rica" with dates in June, July, August and September.
"Our new Gateway Collection is ideal for guests looking for a vacation that balances just the right amount of leisure time and freedom to explore destinations on their own with the benefits of Adventures by Disney’s guided tours and VIP hassle-free travel," said Karl Holz, president of Disney Cruise Line & New Vacation Operations.
All Gateway Collection itineraries feature Adventures by Disney’s special touches called the "Disney Difference" and some VIP access into popular tourist attractions.
On "Gateway to Costa Rica,” for example, families will become immersed in their surroundings when they embark on a jungle cruise through Tortuguero National Park with a naturalist, exploring the many canals and rich wildlife of the Mangrove.
